When i put it in park the.park engages ive checked the linkage and adjusted but it did nothing. In reverse it sounds as if its still under load but wont rev past 1500 rpm and just sits there and wont roll forward or back and in neutral it goes forward and as if in drive but wont come out of what i believe is first gear and only goes to around 2000rpm and when in drive it will go from 1st to 2nd fine but wont shift to 3rd unless manually shifted from 1st to 2nd then into drive any clues as to what this may be any help greatly appreciated

Sounds like your clutch plates seized up in the transmission, at least that's what happened in my old car. Exact same symptoms. Double check all the linkage are link up correctly. Start looking for a new Trans
